Craft Club Tuesday || Community Closet Upcycling at Crafty Tomato

Learn more about the awesome co-host of this event: Community Closet Clothing Swap @COMMUNITYCLOSETAZ

How the Community Closet Works

Swap It. Paint It. Give It a New Life.

  1. Bring any clean denim clothing you’re ready to swap or customize.
  2. Browse the Community Closet brought to you by the amzing @COMMUNITYCLOSETAZ and and choose something that is new to you!
  3. Use acrylic paint, rhinestones and gems to transform your denim.
  4. Leave with a completely personalized piece and some new friends.

You can bring jeans, jackets, shorts, skirts, shirts or other clean denim clothing, even tote bags! If you'd like to contribute to the community closet, please only bring items that are clean and in a condition someone else would be excited to wear.

What Your Ticket Includes

  • Admission to the Community Closet denim swap
  • Very fun denim-upcycling experience
  • Unlimited acrylic paint
  • Unlimited rhinestones and gems for you to bedazzle
  • Crafting tools and paint brushes
  • Help from the Crafty Tomato team
  • Two hours of social crafting

What Should I Bring?

Bring at least one clean denim item you’d be happy to swap or upcycle.

The Community Closet depends on what guests contribute, so we cannot guarantee particular sizes, styles or items. If you already have something you definitely want to decorate, bring it with you!

We recommend wearing clothes you don’t mind crafting in. Acrylic paint can permanently stain clothing.

Come Craft and Make New Friends

This isn’t a formal, step-by-step class. We’ll explain how everything works at the beginning, then you can swap, paint and decorate at your own pace.

Come with friends or arrive solo. Everyone will be working on their own denim transformation, so it’s easy to talk, trade ideas and meet fellow thrifters, crafters and sustainable-fashion lovers.
